Anyone who has walked with the Lord God for any length of time knows that the way to be happy and blessed is to do what He says to do. You have learned to agree with Adonai. You are committed to following His commandments and His precepts. In obeying His charges and bearing the load He gives, you will find rest. As you exercise His will, repeatedly and habitually, you will find fulfillment and gain. People will say that you are fortunate and well off.

Your continued obedience to the Lord God also brings you other privileges. You have the freedom and the right to draw from the tree of life. Through the remission of your sins, by the blood of Jesus, the Messiah, you have access to the life that God possesses. God has freely given you this life through your faith and trust in Him and He is also the One who maintains His gift to you. This life is eternal and righteous. Jesus poured out His life so that you could receive authority to act in behalf of God on the earth. He has given you the power, strength, and influence to minister under His jurisdiction.

You have also been given the right and the privilege to enter through the gates of the city of Almighty God. As you do, you will find more abundance, exceeding all of your expectations. There you discover all of the fullness of God.
